Toyota Mark II JZX100 For Sale — Import From Japan

Sold from September 1996 until production ended in October 2000, the JZX100 is the eighth-generation Mark II and the last one built as a four-door hardtop. Its platform and engines are shared with the JZX100 Chaser and Cresta. Toyota kept the split between a sporty Tourer line and a comfort-focused Grande line, and the Tourer V is the one most buyers want. That car has a 2.5-liter 1JZ-GTE with VVT-i and a single turbo, rated at 280 PS, and it drives the rear wheels through a five-speed manual or an automatic. The Tourer S uses the naturally aspirated 1JZ-GE. Grandes run from the 2.0-liter GX100 up to the 3.0-liter Grande G, which came with stability control. ABS and front and side airbags were standard on every car in the range. Zenki and kouki cars are split by an August 1998 facelift that revised the front and rear styling. Grandes are plentiful, and manual Tourer Vs are hard to find.

What to check on a Mark II JZX100

What it costs to import a Mark II JZX100

The card prices above are what each car costs in Japan. The shipped price on a card is that car delivered to your nearest US port, with ocean freight and export fees included. We then clear it through US customs as your importer of record and handle the title, so there's no customs broker for you to hire. The full cost breakdown has the details.

Is the Mark II JZX100 legal to import?

Any vehicle 25 years or older is legal to import into the USA without meeting modern FMVSS safety or EPA emissions standards.

See the 25-year rule explained.

How buying one from us works

We bid at Japanese auctions and buy from dealer stock on your behalf. Before any money moves, the car is physically inspected in Japan, with photos, video, and a condition report, not just an auction sheet grade. After purchase we handle export, ocean freight to your nearest US port, customs clearance, import duty, and US title, so the car arrives ready to register. Typical timeline is 45–60 days from purchase to delivery.

What do you check before buying a Toyota Mark II JZX100?

Every car is inspected in person in Japan before any money moves. On this chassis we look hardest at: Grandes are common and cheap, and it's easy to fit one with Tourer V bumpers and badges. The 1JZ-GTE in the bay and the grade on the model plate settle which car you have; The full model code on the plate verifies a factory five-speed. A converted Grande or automatic Tourer V is a different car from a factory manual; Look for drift and accident repair, such as welded differentials, rolled arches, seam welding and repaired chassis rails; The sills, rear arches and trunk floor are where to look for rust.

Mark II JZX100 or Chaser JZX100?

Mechanically there's nothing to choose between them. Both Tourer Vs use the 280 PS VVT-i single-turbo 1JZ-GTE with a five-speed manual or an automatic. The Mark II is the longer car (4,760 mm against the Chaser's 4,715 mm) with more conventional styling, and it calls its comfort line Grande instead of Avante. Let condition and transmission decide it.

What changed in the August 1998 facelift?

Toyota revised the front and rear styling and gave the 2.0-liter 1G-FE VVT-i, which lifted it to 160 PS. Cars from before the change are called zenki, and those after it are kouki. The Tourer V's 280 PS turbo engine didn't change.
